Patent GB-2577067-A (GB)
Title: Controlling applications by an application control system in a computer device
Inventor: PAUL THEXTON
IPC: G06F21/54
Filed: 2018-09-12
Abstract: An application control system (ACS) intercepts a request to launch an application by a calling process 801. Based on information identifying the requested application, the application control system determines that user interaction is required before launching the requested application 802. The application control system establishes whether the calling process is associated with a controlling terminal 803 and, if so, performs user interactions using that controlling terminal 804. Deciding whether to permit or deny launching the requested application may be based on the user interactions. If the calling process is not associated with a controlling terminal, the ACS may check whether the request to launch was initiated from a graphical user interface (GUI), and perform the user interactions using GUI messages. The ACS may use the calling process’ identity (PID) to traverse the calling process’ process tree and identify whether the calling process is associated with a controlling terminal. If the calling process is not associated with a controlling terminal or GUI, a default outcome may be determined without attempting to perform the required user interactions.

Title: A method for screening psychoactive substances
Inventor: DAVID WILLIAMSON
IPC: G01N33/94
Filed: 2019-01-10
Abstract: An NMR spectrometer having a permanent magnet with 0.5-2.5 T field strength is used to measure a spectrum of a sample comprising a test compound. The test compound is categorised into a class of psychoactive substance, and may be identified by its spectral fingerprint, by comparing the measured spectrum to one or more reference spectra, each relating to a psychoactive substance and having been acquired at 0.5-2.5 T. A compound reference spectrum may correspond to a particular psychoactive substance. A mixture spectrum based on combinations of reference spectra may be iterated until sufficiently high similarity is achieved, and proportions of reference spectra adjusted to form an adjusted mixture reference spectrum. A ranked list of psychoactive substances may be generated. The test sample may comprise a plurality of psychoactive substances, each being categorised into a class, and may contain a psychoactive substance different from those of the reference spectra.

Title: Switching device and method for operating a switching device
Inventor: KAI SCHROEDER
IPC: H01H73/04
Filed: 2021-10-07
Abstract: A switch with two fixed contacts 55 and a contact bridge 40 with two movable contacts 45. The bridge is connected to a bridge carrier 30 by at least one spring 31, which may be laterally spaced or offset from a centre of the bridge. The contact bridge has a lever arm 59 with a tip 62 that irreversibly engages a protrusion (carrier tip) 61 on the bridge carrier in the event of a short circuit, optionally by latching together. This latching action may be caused by motion of the contact bridge induced by the electrodynamic forces induced by the current flowing through the contacts in the event of a short circuit. The contact bridge may move linearly during normal switching, but during an overcurrent may rotate due to a combination of the lateral spacing of the spring from the centre of the contact bridge and the sudden movement of the bridge caused by the electrodynamic repulsion forces between the contacts. This may cause the latching action to occur, which may irreversibly hold the contact bridge in a switched off position. The switch can include an armature 47 coupled to the contact bridge carrier.
